I'm with you but in this case, after around pick 15 most of the potential immediate impact defensive picks are gone. Notice everyone is throwing a bunch of defensive names around. There is no clear cut starter out of that bunch, just a bunch of projects. Heyward looks good but even he admitted he needs work. Ingram on the other hand, as long as he stays healthy he's going to have an impact from the start.
